  Speaker 1: doing well, living life, enjoy life, and I know I am.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: That's why I was like, you know what, let's do
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: a little weekend mail bag. I'm actually I'll be on
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the Herd with colin the next two weeks. I will
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: record podcasts every day in the afternoon, probably from the hotel.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: So nothing really changes here, a little longer days for
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: your boys, sleep a little more, not gonna lie the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: hotel rooms a little quieter without a little guy rolling around.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: But we'll just have full podcast the next couple of weeks,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and just I'll be doing the herdline news with Collins,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: so that that'll be the game plan right into the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: preseason games in the middle August. And today we'll do
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a big mail bag at John Middlecoff at John Middlecoff
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: fireing those dms, get your questions answered here on the show.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: And you guys know the drill. So if you listen
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: on Collins feed, make sure you describe to three and out.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get a lot of me this week. You're
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: gonna hear a lot of this guy's voice. You know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be coming at you from every angle. And
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: if you want to watch, all of our podcasts are
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: on Netflix, so appreciate everyone who hits the alert checks
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: those out there. And I did something on debo on
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: our YouTube page. Sometimes if I record the podcast and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: news breaks, I'll throw something on three and out YouTube page,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: so you can subscribe to that. We'll have a lot
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: of content up there during football season because so much
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: is going on, and you know, not everything makes the podcast.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: So three and out YouTube page. Can you can check
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: that out? Hit the subscribe button. You guys know the drill.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: You hear it enough. But let's just s dive it
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: into football. We will start with with Daniel not a
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Niners fan, but every year players drop like fly in practice, preseason,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: or the season. Do you think it has anything to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: do with their run centric system? Could Kyle's run first
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: nature actually be the problem? I have to imagine imposing
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the run game has to be more physically demanding than
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: consistently passing. Substation memes are funny though, Yeah, I mean,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I would say, and Kelsey has been saying this for
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a long time. Andy Reid is viewed as a pass guy.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Right If you look historically, Coach Reed likes the pass.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: When he came on this podcast, I asked him, you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: guys are gonna lead the league in rushing, and even
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: he had to laugh, He's probably not, even though they've
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: their offensive line is gonna be good, and they get
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker and they run as physical of a training
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: camp as any in the league, and they just had
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: an injury yesterday too. I go back to the inability
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to train playing football for six months. These guys just
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: don't do it very often. So when you get guys,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't have a great theory for the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers separate from the substation. You know, Ricky
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Piersall is a good example. He never missed a game
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: in college, was never injured. So you get an injured
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: A guy that was never injured comes to the pros
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and then is always injured like that. That one, to me,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it's like, that's the type guy that you get. Obviously
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: it was polarizing pick at the time overdrafting him, but
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it's like you're getting a durable player who's gonna catch
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a seventy five balls a year. Well, shit, which listen,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: we're not swinging for the fences here just want like
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: a you know, stand up double, maybe like a long single.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: But hey, we're on the basis it's been the opposite.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's an utter disaster. But like Shamar Stewart
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: gets hurt, all these guys around the league get injured.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I think they're there's some randomness to it. But I
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: think it gets back to the rules in And here's
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the other thing. In like the sixties or the seventies,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: there was way less money on the line. A lot
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of guys if you played professional sports. Some guys still
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: if you weren't a superstar, had to work another job.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: So the world we live in now is way different.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: And if you had the opportunity to have a job
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in your twenties and your thirties that could pay. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: mean how guards make. Linderbaum just got twenty seven million,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: twenty to fifty million dollars. Most human beings, even some
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: people you know that you'd be like, eh, I don't
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: know how hard of a worker he would. It would
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: It could inspire you to get a little focused, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: most of these guys, the focus people take it to
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: another level. The training for football is out of control.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So these guys the lifting, the speed training. What they
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: do over the course of the last you know, day
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: plus is in a different what you eat. So when
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: these guys get to practice, I have a thought that
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: some of these guys like almost too tight, not as
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: much as Tom would tell you a pliability, flexibility. They're
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: so muscle bound because unlike some of these guys thirty
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: forty years ago, once you got knocked out of the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: second round of the playoffs, you're like, I'm going to
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: like a two month gonna play some golf, drink some beers,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: lift a little weights, but whatever, most of these guys
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: like take it very very seriously, and you could argue
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they're too tightly wound. So I don't know how true
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: that statement is, but I don't think it's the most
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: outrageous thing to say that. Do you guys overtrain in
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, which is understandable if you had a job.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: It's like, hey, man, you know you can make one
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars doing this. If you're a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: decent player, you're like, yeah, I'm going to train three
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five days a year. There's got to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: be something in like recovering relaxing, getting away from but
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's hard for a lot of people, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I do wonder if that overtraining has led to over
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you know, the the injury world we kind of live in,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: as well as changing the way they practice dramatically to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: not let anyone be physical and then you don't have
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: any callouses on your body. So I think there's a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: lot of variables there. I don't think what we'd ever
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: get right to the bottom of it, but it's it's fascinating.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Why do the forty nine ers keep their first round
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: draft picks? Just trade them away? We suck at nailing
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that pick. What do you think the issue is? You
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: know what's funny is we love looking back on like
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: what you know, instead of Ricky Piersoll, the forty nine
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: ers could take Laden McConkey or Braiden Fisk the de
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: tackle is good player for the UH for the Rams.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: But at the time people thought the Rams were insane
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: for taking braiden Fisk. You know, I think sometimes on
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: draft night and a year away from a draft, everyone
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: kind of nitpicks it, but you never know, you have
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: no clue if you did. The Richard Sherman's and George
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Kittles and Jason Kelsey's would never be there on the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: third day of the draft. But no one has any
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: clue they are those guys until they become those guys.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: It's no different than like JSN. I think a lot
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: of people liked him, but where they get him late teens,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: early twenties. If people would have known he would have
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: been that good, he'd been on top. I pick Pukna course,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: fither around pick. So. I think there's a lot of
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: randomness to the draft. People think you overdraft a guy,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: then he becomes really good. People think you underdraft a
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: guy and then he then he sucks. So I don't know.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I think the forty nine ers are very, very lucky.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I went on with Colin and I told him this,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to have to have Kyle because they've they've had a
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: lot of disasters in the draft. They've had some legendary hits,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: right Fred. I think in the third George and the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: fifth pretty obviously. I mean it's probably their most important
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: in the seventh. But they've had a lot of disasters,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I mean disasters. But that's why your head coach, who's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the play caller, is extremely important. Because the Cardinals the Dolphins,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you know, the commanders, these you just go around the league.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: These teams couldn't overcome it. Most teams can't, and it
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: can bite you in the ass on a given year.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: But yeah, man, it's it's nuts. Just wanted to throw
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it out there. I think you should do a live show.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Have you ever considered it? I'd fly down to Scottsdale
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: for that, and I know others would do h But
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: here's my question. Yeah, we've kind of thrown it off
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the wall, but nothing too serious yet. What is the
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: word around the league on Nolan Teasley the Vikings New GI.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I know you're connected. After he got the job, one
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of my buddies in the league that knows him really
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: well put me on a group text. So it was me,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Teasley and the other guy and he kind of introduces me,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and then then I shot him a text that said, uh, basically,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: obviously I've never met him, a congrats, fired up for you,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: and then ghosted. Now it's I guess you can't ghost
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: if you've never met the person or talk to the person.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: But I got no response, So I I mean, who
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: he worked for? You worked for John Schneider for that long?
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Clearly smart, clearly talented, but I don't really know much
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: about him. Maybe one day I'll get a text. Maybe
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I'll never get a text, but I wouldn't be the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: first time in any walk of life, you know. So
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I would say, if I'm a Vikings fan, I'm excited
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: because Questy was historically awful. I mean, just he There
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: is no way Teasley isn't better than this guy. So
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you get rid of Quesci, you get rid of Gregson,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you can just get some new life in their personnel wise,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and you know Bill around the coaches. So I truly
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: don't know much about this guy. Besides, he worked for
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: John up in Seattle for a long time, and they
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: drafted and signed a lot of good players. I mean,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: he's had a front row seat to one of the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: best gms in the league for a long time. By
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: all counts, generally likes him. John's produced a sneaky a
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: lot of gms over the course of his career. You know,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Dan Morgan started with him. The dude Dan Morgan replaced
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: started for him Teasley. They keep winning hill Off more question,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I've noticed a lot of former NFL scouts interns in
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: front office people talk about their time in the league
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: in the past tense. Does the front office world fall
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: under not for long umbrella? Or is there another reason
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: you talk fondly of your time with the Eagles minus Chip.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Is there a reason you chose not to continue working
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's a good question. Maybe I've never
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: even noticed other people in the past tense. Maybe you
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: just realize you're moved on with your life. Yeah, that's
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: a grit. I don't have a great reaction to why
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: they talk about in the past tense. Why I did
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: is just because my life took another pass. You know,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: when I got fired in thirteen, I was like twenty
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: nine years old, twenty nine, thirty years old, maybe twenty eight.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that many people in the league, beside
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the people with the Eagles, and beside Veach who went
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: with Andy, I didn't really know that many people on
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: other teams. So I was like, all I'd done professionally
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: was working college football. Then in the NFL, I went like, well,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: how am I going to a job with the I didn't
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: know guys like John Schneider or Jason Lyd or Spot.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't know any of these people. I mean, I
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: had heard of those guys. But I'm just saying that
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't have any of these guys numbers.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: The only GM in the league I knew was Howie
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and you had just called me and said my contract
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: wasn't renewed. So it's like I I didn't really know
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: what to do. You know, it wasn't one of those
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I had worked in the business for a decade and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: new you know, I just didn't know that many people.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And then it just kind of happened. I got in
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the radio world and it just kind of took off
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: and I never looked back, and you kind of realize, like,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I'm way more suited for this again, I would say this,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: for that level, I liked football. I really liked football.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think I loved it. And to be John Schneider,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: to be Howie Roseman, to be less need you know,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: obviously the coaches are nuts, but all the great GMS,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Jason Light, these spytech, these guys eat, breathe and sleep.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: It's it's that they however much you think you love
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: football as a fan, it doesn't hold a candle to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: how much they love football. And it's impossible to get
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to the highest level of that profession without I guess
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you could, you know, be a con man foolsome people,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and that's how happened. You can do you know, the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: QUESSI type move and say, oh, this guy used to
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: work in Goldman Sachs, Like, well does he know how
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: to build a football team? Cause if he doesn't, I
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: don't give a shit. You know how many hotels he
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: could figure out to buy for a under one hundred
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: million dollars and then flip him for five hundred million?
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Can he find the nickel corner in the draft? Can
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: he find a good swing tackle? Because it's like, well,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: managing people's managing people well kind of, but it's like,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: do you understand what the outside linebacker's supposed to look like?
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: The guy you're looking for in the second or third round?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Because if you don't, then you're kind of worthless to me.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And I think all the football junkies can. And once
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I got into radio and podcasting, my passion for that,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I would say was just like I have a higher
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: ceiling in this. So I just kept doubling down on
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that and I realized, I probably realized a year out
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: like I'm never going back. And then by now, I
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: mean I've talked so much shit about everybody. It's like,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you know, even if I wanted to, and I definitely
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: do not, you know, someone hired me, they'd be clipping
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: podcasts I did, I'd probably be I'd be unhirable in
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the NFL. I would one be unhirable because there's no
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: team that could hire me without people in the aggregators
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: being able to clip things of like they just hired
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: this guy. Look at what he said about people in
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the building, people in the division. It wouldn't uh, it
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: wouldn't go well, that'd be kind of funny. But look
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: at what he said about Goodell in twenty seventeen. Are
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: you really gonna buy Cowboy stock? Yet again? I just
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: don't know how we get ourselves year in and year
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: out with this take. Well, Dak is good forget the playoffs.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: We know how that ends. I looked it up. In
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: his career, he is eighteen and thirty nine in the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: regular season against team with a winning record in three
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and eleven in his last fourteen, meaning when the competition
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: ratches up, they crumble, not to mention the game or two,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: they consistently choke against lesser competition. This guy's got some
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: stats eighteen and thirty nine against regular season teams with
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a winning record. That's a pretty good nugget. I don't
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: think one rookie is going to dramatically change that horrendous defense.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Go Berts. Also showing your age on the anti bag tack.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: We know it's all wild transfers and numbers on a screen.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: No different than calling cash coin, bread, cheese, cheddar keep
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: it up. Yeah, I just think the bag like, I'm
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: not showing my age. When you give someone a bag
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: of money, it's just a bag of cash. To the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: mafia did business, to how people do business on the streets.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: It's untraced cash. So if you sign one hundred million
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: dollar contract, you're not You're getting no bags of money.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Bags of money are what you want because there are
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: no taxes paid on that money. It's just an economic
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: pet peeve of mine. It's not even about age, it's
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: just about legitimately, like no one in profession sports maybe
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: back in the day, you know, college kids used to
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: get bags of money if you wanted to be like, hey, Alabama,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: brown bag the kid, Like yeah, they gave the kid
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: to back Like that is a fact. Right, How did
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Alabama in two thousand and seven land Julio Jones. And
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: again I'm not trying to throw Julio Jones on the bus.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: They probably gave him a bag. How did you know?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Jay billis always used to be high in might. He's like,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: how do you think coach k was landing all those
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: one and dons, you know, for twenty years? Giving him
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the bag? Coach cal had bag? Men, you're getting bags
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: of money? Like, uh, who just signed a contract? Chris
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: o'lavi got no bags of money from the Saints, zero bags,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: no bags. He sent a contract with money they have
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: an escrow did then they funnel him based on the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: terms of the contract sheet this business, you know, So
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I get it's cool to say bag, but like in
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: college football, they actually brown they gave people bags of money,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: which again I'm pro bags of money. What was your question?
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: You give a fair point, You definitely bring up good.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: I'll give you your stats on DAK and the competition
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: are fair. I think one thing they got going for
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: him is like they played the Eagles well and I
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: don't know what happened to my phone here. I think
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: their defense could be dramatically better and offensively they're good
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: now you're right. I mean, I'm not talking about the playoffs.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the playoffs at all. Could they
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: win a playoff game, I'm no clue. I've seen Dak
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs be horrendous year after year, but like,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I've also seen him win twelve plus games. I think
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: they went twelve to five three straight years. So that's
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: all I'm saying. I'm not picking him to win the
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I'm not picking him to win a playoff game.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying there's a world where they're in the
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: playoffs and they can win the division. Right. I feel
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: better about Dak coming into the season than Jalen Hurts.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Both those guys have received a large wire transfers are
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: well compensated, But like, who's the better quarterback right now
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: throwing the football? Not even debatable. It's Dak Prescott. Is
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurt's going to function this offense? Well, we'll see
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: if they can run the ball, because last year it
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: was horrendous. Today's show is brought to you by presenting

• 20:04
  Speaker 1: are a local to the Valley and ASU, I wanted
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: to see if we can talk some ASU game in
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: London Wembley Stadium this year versus Kansas in September. I
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: don't think I've heard of a college team playing overseas.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Is there a reason why they're doing this? And do
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: you think it's smart for the Big twelve to be
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: focused on international games instead of trying to get a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: second spot in the college football playoffs. I think there's
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: always a game. I think Belichick, let me pull up
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the college football schedule. I think it's like North Carolina
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: versus is it SMU. There's a game week zero, see
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: if they have it. North Carolina TCU is in Dublin, Ireland.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: So August twenty ninth Saturday, there is a nine am
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: kickoff North Carolina against TCU in Ireland. I didn't even
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: know ASU was playing a Big twelve game in Wembley Stadium,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: But I'm sure you saw that. They think about this.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Ohio State and Notre Dame are getting like eighteen to
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: twenty million dollars from Chase and Sofi Bank to put
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: the patch right? Didn't the Big twelve just sign a
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: deal with Monster Energy for twenty million dollars a year?
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: So I don't really know what's going on. I pull
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: up the schedule here. Maybe I just pulled up the
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: top twenty five? We got any good I haven't really
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: looked at the college football stuff. Can I get the
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: top twenty five? I guess we do? We not even
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: have one? Do we have any good games? That's the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: thing with college football. It's like Oklahoma's playing UTEP, Alabama's
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: playing Eastern Carolina, Georgia's playing Tennessee State, Tennessee's playing Furman,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Texas playing Texas State. I mean, what the fuck are
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: we doing? A and M's playing Missouri State. Props to LSU.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can say what you want about Dabbo,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: but like that's that's a real game. LSU playing Clemson
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: in Baton Rouge at night, Florida playing Florida Atlantic Props
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: all miss They're playing in Louisville. What what these games
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: are a joke? We need someone to fix college football.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: It is Produce playing Indiana State, Illinois is playing UAB,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Rutgers is playing UMass, Indiana's playing North Texas. Ohio State's
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: playing ball State. At least the Oregon's playing Boise State.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: USC is playing Fresno State. Go Dogs. Uh, Eagles should
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: be pretty good. Eagles defense can be fantastic. Question marks
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: a defense or offense question for the show. I listen
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to you answer someone's questions about peptides and you're saying, yeah,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: if they aren't detectable, got no problem with athletes doing it.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I agree. Irks me that Bonds isn't in the Hall
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: of Fame. So's to maguire. Golfing at Lake of the Pines,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Auburn with my pops, who's in his late seventies last month,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: hits a good drive, then says, fuck, wish I took
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: my adderall before we hit the course. Even my sister,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: who's also a doctor like my dad, take adderall helped
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: me focus, And they're obviously doing well in life. I
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: think a couple of Seahawks in twenty ten's got suspended
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: for adderall at one point. If I recall correctly, I've
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: dabbled with supplements and still with peptides. I guess my
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: question is this pops in his seventies popin some Maddie litsten.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: You gotta stay focus, You gotta stay focused. If you
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: got someone that you work around that you're like, how
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: does this guy have the energy? Typically he's on a
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: little performance and answer and you could argue adderall. Some
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: people need it, like there's it's not debatable. It never
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: really worked with me. It just makes me feel weird.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: I guess my question is this, where should the line
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: be drawn? We're humans? Twenty six medical as help us tremendously.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Do you think supplements in athletics or any lanes in
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: life should be okay? Or continue to get frowned upon? U?
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I feel like there is a line somewhere, but where?
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Be healthy, be kind, kick ass your thoughts. I don't
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: have a great, perfect answer for this. I'm unfaced. I
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: assume most people that are doing well in most industries
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: are on things. And when you say that to older generation,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: like what do you mean? I'm like, they're just on
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: things that are helping them function, whether it's sleeping pills,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: whether it's uppers like adderall and you can argue some
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: people need it and some people just use it because
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: it does take them to another level. So in any
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: walk of life beside athletics, most people that are really
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: high functioning aren't just like drinking you know, tea, right,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: So I get in the physical sport the steroids that
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: makes a human basically inflates their strength, that they're stronger
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: than they would be. It just because you look like
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't mean you can play. But if you're
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: already good and you get strong, like Barry Bonds was
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: hitting those balls because he already hit a bunch of
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: home runs before he hit it. He was a great hitter, right,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: and it took him to another level and it made
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: him very entertaining. It was like a cyborg. It was
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: incredible to watch. I miss him. The Giants at sixty
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: years old, Barry probably be their best player, but I'm
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: pretty sure they had a guy who like got injured
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: falling off a scooter and they're gonna withhold this pay.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: But I don't know the line. I really don't And
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I think a lot of stuff in
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: like why you're not allowed to do certain stuff is
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: for insurance purposes, because people like why does Roger Goodell
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: so much about care about these guys taking bong rips.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I'm like, he doesn't. Half the owners are high right now.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: It was all about insurance, Like this stuff's all about economics.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: It's not emotion. That there's little to no emotion in
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: most big business. I would say, it's like it can
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: get emotional when you're arguing about something, but it typically
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: is very black and white, and there's got to be
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: some sort of concrete, black and white reasoning behind the
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: scenes why they're so against certain things. To me, the
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: pure steroids I do get. But yeah, I don't know.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the answer is. I just think
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: that if you believe in sports, like when I watch sports,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: you could never shock me. It's like so and so
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: it came out he was on HGH, Like I would
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: not be stunned, Like I wouldn't be like, that's the
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: craziest thing I've ever seen. If you told me ten
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: people like all these guys do adderall, you could list
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: me many people, right, people, I know people that are
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: public figures that I don't know. I would not be
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: surprised by any human beings. I'm just not easily surprised,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: so especially in twenty twenty six. You know, once we
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: were watching Barry It's like, yeah, something's going on there.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Like I've lived through it all. Most people I know
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: were hell I knew people like snorting adderall in college.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: He's got this accounting test. Let me uh, let me
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: rip a line of adderall so I can I can
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: do fifo. It's like, okay, see how that goes for you?
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I guess pretty well. I mean some of these people
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: are like thriving in corporate America now, Fugazi Friday material
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: ceiling fans. I replaced some ceiling fans in my house
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: over the year or so. One frustrating part of the
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: process is connecting the light switch or the switches. They
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: all come with a remote control now, so you have
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: to have the original switch and then you push whatever
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: button for the light and the fan. I just want
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to switch for the fan and a switch for the light.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: That's it. But we have these dumb remote that my
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: wife and kids will almost certainly lose or break. Not
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: sure if this qualifies before I moved into this house,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: remodeled it, and we need some fans. So I said, Maria,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: you're good at this stuff. I don't even know where
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: to look. She looked on Amazon. We worked with the
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: general contractor. He got us some fans and you save
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: some money going that way. Got some fans delivered, he
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: installed it. I have, and I mean no clue, absolutely
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: zero idea where my ceiling fans in the living room
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: kind of dining room area, it's open, it's all kind
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: of one area. And the fan in my master my
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: room I have. I can't even use them. They do
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: not work. My switches are just lights. The light turns on,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: but I can't turn on the fan. I don't know
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: what the fucking remote is. I tried to buy this
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: universal remote from Amazon. It doesn't work. So it just
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the fans are you know, like Matt Black. They look cool,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: but they don't do anything. They just sit there and
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I have no ability to make them go around. In
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: one year, like two years ago, we went out of town.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I was like, let's save on the AC bill. Do
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: not just turn the AC off? Well, this is in
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the summer. Marine's like, I don't think that's a good idea.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Just leave it at like seventy eight. And we came
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: home and inside it was one hundred degrees and this
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: is thank God before Jack. I don't even think she
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: was pregnant. Then it was I've never been in a
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: house this hot, besides, like you know, doing construction or something.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: And I was desperately looking because the AC couldn't go
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: fast enough to even cool down that it took hours.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I was like, let's turn on the fans. Let's turn
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: on the fans. I had no ability to. So I'm
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: with you. You know, I missed the days when you
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: just walked in, you saw a fan, you went over
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: to light switch, You're like, wonder what switches the fan?
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: You click one of them and the family start going.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Those days are dead. You better have remotes. I'm with
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: you my remotes. I don't know. I might have thrown
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: it away because you know what, so times I throw
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: away random stuff because I didn't even realize it was remote.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I thought maybe thought it was an old remote. Maybe
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: I thought it was something useless. Now what do you do?
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Universal remote? Good luck with those. I may be biased,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: but I've always liked Tony Romo. He seems to be polarizing.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: A lot of people back on him, but it may
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: just be the nature of the gig. The TMZ video
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: just got released, Romo getting pulled over and doing field
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: sobriety tests. They're kind of hilarious. The video portrays exactly
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the guy you hear on Sundays, plus clearly a few cocktails.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I really didn't think he was that drunk, but you know,
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: he was definitely hesitant. She's like, where are you coming from?
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Where are you coming from? He didn't say, He didn't say.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: The golf course is dead giveaway. It's like, I think
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: you're drunk, and then you said you're coming from the
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: golf course. I think you'd be better off being like, uh,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: my daughter's the answer recital, which you gonna think you're drinking?
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Doing that? You say the golf course, you're getting yanked
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: out of the car. My question. I've been reading this
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Some people are speculating the Dewey will be CBS as
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: a excuse to can Romo. Do you think it's realistic?
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: I hope not. He adds a little fun twist to Sundays.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: As a bald brother have some thoughts to share with
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: other bald brothers out there that will be for a
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: different day. Okay, I would say on the Romo thing, Obviously,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: early on he was unique. The guy was calling plays
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: out well. That disappeared after a couple of years. I
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: do think the knock on him is he's not the
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: biggest grinder and if I'm paying you eighteen million dollars,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: which is insane because think about this, like even Aikman
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: and those guys, they also use their leverage to get
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Monday night football. If you just replace them with serviceable people,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: no one's not watching the game because Troy Aikman or
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Tony Romo or Chris collins Worth is not calling the game. Now,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: you do need some star power for the game, which
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: has star power in these primetime games. But like whether
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: k Herbstreet worked with Al Michaels or you know, pick
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: some random former quarterback and Iron Eagle or Kevin Harlan,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think it changes our viewership. On Thursday night
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Fotball Attle CBS, Tony Romo bent them over and they
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: said uncle, and he wouldn't stop, and it's like you
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: can't really and listen. I think people shitting on you
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: in the Internet is the most overrated thing. Whenever I
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: hear people like you don't know what they're saying about
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: me on the internet, it's called close your fucking phone.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, Jesus Christ. It's one thing if you're twelve,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: but it's like you're thirty five years old. Stop just
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: if you're fucking mad at what they're saying, turn off
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: your phone. These people do not exist in your actual
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: This isn't like your husband or your brother or someone
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: telling you this in real life. So it's like these
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: companies see all these people talking shit and they think
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh, everyone hates them. Well do they I
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: don't know, maybe they do. I can't even gauge on Romo, right.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I think people that like cover the media for a
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: living will say that he's that. I think they get
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: it from people with inside CBS that think he thinks
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: and the head guy at CBS had to go down there.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: But you don't need to pay him eighteen million dollars
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: a year. So again this back what we said. Business
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: is pretty cutthroat. If I don't think you're worth eighteen
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: million dollars a year, and I would love to get
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: out of the contract, and in the contract I can
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: fire you for cause. I will fire you for cause
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: and make you sue me, and you'll lose if I
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: have it in the contract, and I'll hire JJ Watt,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: who if you're making eighteen, I could pay JJ Watt
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: what five so less than a third of what I'm
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: paying you, and probably wouldn't give a beat. It might
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: have a little different flavor, but I think JJ's pretty solid.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: And JJ's big thing is like, I'm not gonna talk
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: a bunch of I'm not going to be critical with guys.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I don't see Tony Romo shitting on anybody, So it's
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: not like there's gonna be some This isn't Treygman, who's
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: one of the only guys it will blastom people, which
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: I actually think the consumer likes. But now, in fairness
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: to JJ or I mean to Romo, once you install
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: JJ to that game, more pressure comes. A lot. More
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: people are watching Bill's Chiefs than you know. I don't know.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: You pick random game that JJ is doing, right, Steelers Browns.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Not that people aren't watching that game, but it's the
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: amount of eyeballs changes dramatically in the afternoon because there's
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: a couple of games on, so that factors in as well,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: but it clearly doesn't feel like they like them, you know,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: and I think you know, I've heard Colin talk about this.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Most human beings in life, unless you own a business
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: as an employee, even if you've got a little leverage,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: the amount of money most high level people make. Right,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: if you find some like high level forty year old, like,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: it's like he's making six hundred grand, right, you know,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: or eight hundred grand, like top two percenter. So when
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: you start talking the guy's making eighteen million dollars a year,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: it's like, oh, is he the quarterback of the team. No,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: he just he just calls the game with Jim Nantz.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: It's like it was he like John Madden depends who Yeah,
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: not really, It's like that he he took advantage of
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: the situation. And if if you're gonna take advantage of
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: the situation, better be able to back it up. John Madden,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: no one ever complained about how much money he was making, right,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: John Gruden always took him for a ride. But let's
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: face it, John Gruden was entertaining. He's an entertainer. I
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: wouldn't call it Tony Rome when an entertainer. He said,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: goofy seems like a fun guy to have some cocktails
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: with it a golf course. But if I was, you know,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: I CBS. I'm not up to date with all like
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: the merger talks, and I forget who's even running the
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: show there. But again, business is fucking cruel man, And
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: when people are gunning for you and you make a
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: lot of money that they will come for that, They
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: will come for that throat. And now they got there.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Do you think if Troy Aikman got a DUI ESPN
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: would suspend him. You think if Chris Collinsworth got a duy,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: NBC was to spend him. You think if Jim Nance
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: got a Dewey, CBS was to spend him. You think
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: if Colin got in trouble like Fox just kicked him.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: There it shows you when they I don't think we
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: ever see Tony Romeo again, would be my guess. I
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: don't think we ever see him again. I think they
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: quietly fire him for cause, and then it becomes a
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: story when he officially sues them. It'll officially be a
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: story of week one. He's not calling the game, which
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I don't expect them to. My guess, we don't see
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: him again, could be wrong. I mean, I have no insight.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know anyone with CBS, but that's all she
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: wrote for him. Would be my guess, uh is Jalen
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: hurts Russell Wilson two point zero. Not everything is one
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: to one. But I can't help but notice some strong
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: perilel Both were not coming into the draft question about
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: their size and throwing ability. Both were drafted on a
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: really good teams and have one of the league's most
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: prominent gms. Both made it to a couple two Super
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Bowls early and they won one. Both rubbed some people
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: the wrong way in the locker room. Both are known
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: for their scrambling ability and moonball. Both strath the line
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: between win with and win because of quarterbacks. I think
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is a better player than hers. I think
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: at this point in time in their careers. However, many
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: years in, I think Russell was pretty good. Now maybe
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: if John and Pete would tell you by then he
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: was starting to have some bad habits, but I think
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: he was a better I think Jalen's a better runner
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: than he, even like Jalen's a better running quarterback than
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. And I'm not even talking stats and maybe
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: you could backstats be like, well, you're wrong, he doesn't
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: run anymore. Like Jalen's running ability is like really really good,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: make guys miss, Like he can turn into a running back.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: You could have a run, like you could run the
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: quarterback run game, just like like Cam used to do
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: in Carolina, just with Jalen Hurts if he wanted to do,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: which he doesn't want to do anymore. Like you couldn't
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: really do that with Russell. Jalen stronger than Russell as
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: a runner. As a pastor, I feel like Russell was
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: a better passer. One thing both a little weird, you know.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: It's like it just feels like some guys like pretty
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: easy to just have breakfast with Patrick Mahomes, Like it'd
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: just be pretty easy to have breakfast like Josh Allen
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: or Jared Goff or Stafford if you're their teammate, Like
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: is it easy to just if you said, who would
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: you rather have breakfast with? Because think about it, you
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: may not have your coffee yet, so you just like
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: you kind of got to ease into the conversation. Russell
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Wilson or Jalen Hurts. I'd probably choose Jalen because I
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: do think Jalen has it in him somewhere. Dad was
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: a coach, But I think both of them are just
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: as the more money you get, you just kind of
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: live in your own little Lola land. Not bad, not bad.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Well John traded Russell Well Howie. You could argue, and
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: we can do pressure rankings of individual players, but I
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: think the spotlight this year on Jalen Hurts is gonna
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: be coming off just to horrendous year offensively the AJ
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Brown trade, which clearly I mean it's like they're sticking
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: by him the contract. It's like they're not gonna just
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: love you forever. How he's proven like he will pivot
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: off guys, just kind of fascinating. Have you ever seen
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: a defending Super Bowl champion flying this far under the radar?
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: What do you attribute this to? Geographic location? Mike McDonald's
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: low key personality, It's a good question. Uh. I definitely
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: think regionality. If the Bills or the Chiefs, or the
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: Steelers or the Cowboys or the Packers, you know, just
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: one of these prominent brands had won the Super Boy,
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: I think we would hear about it a lot. With Eagles,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I do think there's a little bit of like most
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: of the NFL media like the hell doesn't even live
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: on the West coast, let alone go into the Pacific Northwest.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: You know Liam Cohen and Ben Johnson, who I obviously
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: are both really good. But Liam went on this rant
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: about I'm sure some people saw it about how he
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: like brings up in coaches meetings, like, hey, bring up
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: a NFL dot com and just scroll around, see if
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: you see anything on us. You're like, no coach, not
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: one article, but there's twenty five pictures on Kayleb Williams.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Then they asked Ben Johnson's like we're He's like, that's
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: not true. We're not. Everyone's not blowing us. They're all
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: saying we're the regression team. It's like, well, Liam, first,
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: if the league promoted you guys like they do the
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: big boys, the league would fold and no offense to
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Liam Cohen as a coach, really good. But the Jags brand,
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: you could argue, is dead last in the league. Cardinals
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: probably be up there too. I mean, this is the
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: league is built on team brands more than even players,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: and the Jags would be thirty two out of thirty two, right, Hell,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: we have been having real conversations. Should they just move
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: to London. It's like that'd be hard to like get
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: a workout guy from La on a Tuesday. But and
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: I get they're not doing it, but like they could have.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: It's like, no, no one's overlooking you. Liam. Everyone thinks
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: you're a really good coach, and you resurrected Trevor's career.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: But it's like if I talked about the Jags every
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: day leading the show, like, I probably go out of business.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: We got way too many Amazon pass I could just
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: come into my house every day for that to happen.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: I gotta stay in business. And Ben, it's like, what
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: are the regression to You're like, no, Ben, your guys
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: are gonna be pretty good. Everyone's getting for you now,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: and you're one of the big brands. We're gonna talk
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: about you NonStop. So Liam's partly right. Yes, Yeah, Chicago's good.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: We're gonna fucking talk about him a lot. Why because
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of people pay attention. It's just his numbers game.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: There's a reason you talk about the Yankees and the
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Dodgers so much. One thing about the Dodger trade yesterday,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: trading for Schoopball from Detroit. These other sports have so
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: many issues. It is crazy how much in a better
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: spot the NFL is than just NBA and basketball. Like
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: in the NBA, it's like, once you get a guy's like,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know this guy's worth the money, It's like,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: gotta get rid of them. It's like he's how much
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: is he making seventy million dollars each of the next
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: four years? It's like, was he top ten player last year?
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: It's like, no, there was a fringe All Star. It's like,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: oh fuck. In the NFL, it's like cut that guy immediately.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: In baseball, it's like where is all these other teams
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: trading for this guy. It's like, well, we already know
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: he's gonna sign with the Dodgers at the end of
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: this year, and the owners want a big lockout strike
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: next year. There's not even gonna be a season, so
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: let him just go to the Dodgers. Wait, the owners
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: want him to go to Dodge Yeah, the other owners
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: want him to go to the Dodgers so they can
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: win the World Series again. And everyone screamed for a
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: salary cap. You're like, this is the business you guys
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: are all in. This is what you guys are doing.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Max Crosby became available right this offseason, and the Ravens
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: in theory landed him until they didn't. But the only
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: reason they got him because they had the fourteenth pick
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: and they were willing to throw in another first round pick.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: But they were like eight teams, right, Jerry Jones, Like
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: we had a big offer on the table. The Bears
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: clearly were in the Bills, like all these teams were
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: all sniffing around and wanted them and would have traded
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: for him. And I'm sure I'm leaving out teams. I'm
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: sure the Eagles were all in on it, right, And
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: it's like, that's healthy. If I just told you that pick,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: sweet player, the Vikings don't win again again. I know,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Vikings fans, you guys have been one of the most
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: well run franchise in the league, and you usually don't
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: have awful seasons. But let's just say you do. Let's
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: say this year you win three games, which I don't expect.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Your coaching is too good. Let's say you win three
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: games and a couple of weeks, you know, at the combine,
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson does a Miles Garrett at the Super Bowl
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: and goes I want to trade. I want to trade.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: There'd be ten teams to win the trade for him.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: In baseball, it's like, what are we doing here? I
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: don't have the answers how to fix this stuff, but
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: it's like, I just know this is all fucked up.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: But to blame the Dodgers, it's like, not their fault,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: where's everybody? How do you blame everybody else? Okay, a
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: couple more questions. Cheez fan live in southwest south West Missouri.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: I totally get the move from a business standpoint. It's
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: hard to turn down year round revenue as an owner.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: But I also understand the backlash giving up the cold
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: weather advantage with a dome. Question, couldn't the Hunts just
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: commit to leaving the dome open for home games regardless
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: of the weather, or would it be more of a
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: wear and tear issue because building won't be built to
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: withstand the outdoor punishment. That's a great question one we
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: need to get like their engineer that helped work with
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: the renderings, because I don't know on that one. Clearly,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: the dome is built right. The retractable roofs are there
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: to handle the snowstorms, the wind, the rain, all that stuff,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: And like you said, if any of us owned the team,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: we'd be like in a cold weather place, Chicago, Kansas City, Minnesota, whatever,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: you'd be like, put it, put something on top so
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: we can. Taylor Swift wants to come in here in
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: April or I guess April. It could still be cold
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: there in April, but you know in mid February it's
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: negative ten degrees. Who cares, let's go inside. Right. She
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: wants to come here in December and a swing storm
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter because she can in all these other places, right,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: And I do think we lose the soul football though,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: if everything is just in a dome, even if they
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: change the grass it is. That would be sad because
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: I think part of football in November and December and
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. We give it for the Super Bowl, okay,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: but to just never have if all these teams eventually,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: like every team's playing in a dome and we just
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: don't get rain or snow or sleep or that would
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: suck that game. A couple of years ago, Eagles rams
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. That was incredible. What I've john been
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: listening near every morning since high school. And I'm entering
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: my junior year of college plus second season working for
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: my school's team. Good job. Why did you take on this?
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: I'm planning on graduating two quarters early after my last
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: football season. I have no intention of working in football
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: past college, so I'm pretty much just doing it for
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: fun and possibly win. Anatty must be part of a
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: big time program. That's cool my going life and start
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: my own business. And I want to know if you
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: think I should avoid to get a real job after
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I finish class and use the time I saved from
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: finishing early to work on my own potential company. I
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: just feel like if I end up getting a job
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: being the workforce forever and I'll never actually start a company.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: I have pretty stellar GPA combined with my work experience,
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: but I'm hesitant to work for us some starting level
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: salary and drain myself right out of college. Much love.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: What's cool? I you know, I would say my advice
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: would be this. There's a small percentage of people that
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: can either leave high school, drop out of college, or
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: leave college once they graduate and just start their own
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: company or business or whatever. But they're the head haunchho
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: and just turn that thing into be as successful. There
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: are a lot of people though that start working for
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: someone else. Figure it out. You know, you use that
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: time as a learning experience, whether that's two to five
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: years or whether that's twenty years, and take everything you
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: learn because you're gonna have to. Again, I don't know
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: what industry you want to work in, but like you
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: need to meet people when you're young, and meeting people
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: will be more powerful than any job title you hold.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: Right being around these people, creating relationships in whatever industry
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: that's in, whether it's going to conferences, working for certain companies,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: getting in buildings with certain people, that matters a lot.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: And again, you might be one of the rare talented
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: people that's ready to take on the world. To twenty
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: three years old after winning the Natty, it can be really,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: really difficult. So I will never ever say don't do it.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: Like you got to follow your gut, you know yourself.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe you are really talented, just alpha fucking won't take
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: no for an answer, which from by all accounts, again,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: I reading some studies online, your generation might need a
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: little bit, but I don't think it's the worst thing
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: to go, you know, for the right company, the right situation,
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: work in an industry that you want to that you
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: plan on working in any way, just as the boss
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: in meeting people, creating relationships. Maybe you meet some people,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: do you one day want to hire or partner with's
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: that's important. So godspeed, buddy. Which are the four bad teams?
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Is the most likely to go to the playoffs? Raiders, Dolphins, Cardinals,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: Falcons Dolphins Cardinals. No way, Raiders division is just way
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: too hard. But I would probably take the Raiders over
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: the Falcons. So if I always had to take one,
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: I would take the Raiders. There's no way. Falcons Pennis
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Tua Stefanski out on the best quarterback in their buildings,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, Okay coup more so far into training camp, Scorton,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Shibar Stewart, Brazzl, Ricky Piersoll, Jonathan Gernard, more players injured
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: every day every year, people including you say, feels like
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: more and more injuries. Well that's not always true. This
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: many injuries this year, this early in camp feels significant.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Garnard hurt himself lifting. I mean some of it
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: it's a little random. I like, none of these guys
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: have no impact on the business. That's also the power
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: football obviously. If Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott got hurt over the course of the
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: next month and we're out the season. We'd have major problems.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: But if you just start losing position players, I mean,
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: this is gonna sound like a raging asshole. But this
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: is why these NFL people are so rich. The you know,
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: the owners, the commissioner, it doesn't matter. It means nothing
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: to viewership. Nothing. Now you can say the play might
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: not be as good, which we'd have to really break
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: that down, but I think it has little to no impact,
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: like zero. Like I don't even think we're at like
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: on a on a zero to ten scale, I don't
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: even think we're at one. If we ever get to
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: a point where we're at like five or six, then yeah,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: we would have problems. In some years, we have games
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: on like Sunday Night Football, it's it's AJ McCarran against
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: uh Matt Barkley. Get ready. It's like, okay, Chris, you
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: gotta stop pretending this matters, which, again, injuries happen in football,
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: But right now we're not even close. Okay, we'll end
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: on this question. You were talking about how no one
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: reads the newspaper anymore, and the industry refused to pivot
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: to what the audience actually wants and just keeps expecting
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: the same old business model to keep making money. I
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: was watching inn on the course interview of a journeyman
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: PGA player during the three M Open, good enough but
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: not even a top one hundred guy. He said that
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: having a new kid puts bogies into perspective. My interpretation
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: is that it actually worked in the other direction. The
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: new responsibility only raised the stakes. These players have to
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: perform or pass their limit of their ability every single
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: week or they don't eat. No guaranteed contracts, no outdated
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: business model protecting them. Pure eat what you kill what
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: other professions and even other sports give you room to hide?
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Bad management, No better options on the roster, staff, etc.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: Poor existing contract you can skate by for stretches. These
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: guys don't get that luxury. From a pure professional sports perspective,
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: How would you rank the major sports leagues untrue on
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: true merit, what you make or where you make what
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: you truly earn. Well, I wouldn't even say golf is
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: that way because the top one hundred guy still has
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: titleist tailor made polo. I mean no free ads, you
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: name it, I mean a million. Patrick Cantlay, who is
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: like a you know, country club elitist, has dwelt on
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: his back. It's like you think Patrick Cantlay has ever
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: grabbed a drill. I'll promise you is not. But they're
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: paying him a lot of money. So whether can't lay
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: and delta on his hat? So can't lay? Is a
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: good example. I was watching the term in an earlier day.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: He was kind of in the mix. But he's a
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: by all accounts for his standards, a bad season. He's
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: making millions of dollars off the course. Jordan Speith, who
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: is objectively not good anymore relative to the top thirty
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: forty to fifty guys. He's not as good as those guys,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: yet he still makes a ton of money because of
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: the brand deals he has. Ricky Fowler is better than Speed,
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: but so to me golf, it's hard to make it,
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: like it's hard to become Jordan Speed or Rickey Fowler.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: But once you do, you're kind of on scholarship for
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: a long time. We're in football. Once you make it,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: it's like, okay, you get some money, but usually not
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: all of it's guaranteed, and if you ever start slipping,
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: they'll throw you to the wolves. And if you're not
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: a quarterback or like a superstar, how many brand deals
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: do you usually get. So if you like have a
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: serious injury or all of a sudden your play dips,
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: you'll just get cut and you won't be able to play.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, Deebo Samuel's one year away from just being
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: out of the league. This year goes well, he'll continue
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: his career, and talking to people and listening to some stuff,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: sounds like he's in great shape. He has seventy seven catches.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: But if I tell you Deebo has a year where
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: it's like slow catch forty balls, not inconceivable as his
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: last year. If you tell me as a year where
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: he catches eighty balls and has twelve hundred yards with
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: some rushes and touchdowns and big plays, I could see
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: someone give him a two year, twenty five million dollars contract.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: So football to me, Basketball, you're on scholarship. I mean,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown wants a contract extension. He's got three years
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: left us. It's just it's insane. Right in baseball, it's
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: hard to make the bigs but once you establish yourself
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: as a pretty solid player, you're kind of on scholarship golf. Definitely,
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: once you win a little bit, you can kind of
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: you're just there. Football like you can have a year
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: or two bad that you're just done. They will just
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: kick you to the curb. It'll happen that quickly. So
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: I would say, merit based, it's got to be football.
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: It's got to be football, because even if you're high
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: draft pick, like if JJ doesn't win the job, someone
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: trades for him, he isn't any good, Like, he'll just
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: be he'll never start again, he'll never get a contract
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: over a couple million dollars. Ever, again, it was end
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: like that. If Jordan Speed put out like I need
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: a new sponsor, there'd be fifty companies lined up to
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: give Jordan Speith seven figures to do business with them.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Ricky Fowler, all these type guys. I mean, that's just
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: so to me. Golf's kind of unique that way. Talk
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: to you guys tomorrow, see you the volume
